Oleg,
Sure, I understand that the issue is due to a native timeout - but
the question is: why?


(1) The only reason for a native socket read to block indefinitely is
the SO_TIMEOUT value set to zero. Does XFire explicitly set the socket
timeout value to a positive value?

No, XFire does not. I tried setting it and that didn't produce the desireable affect, as I have several requests that I want to take up to several minutes to respond. I think an indefinite time is fine (which the default, which is what I was using). My issue isn't that the timeout is set to 0, but that the connection isn't proceeding like it should be. Specifically, on the server side, I have done a stack dump and the only thing related to sockets there is this:

---> Acceptor ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=8081]
    java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)
    java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:384)
    java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:450)
    java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:421)
org.mortbay.util.ThreadedServer.acceptSocket(ThreadedServer.java: 432) org.mortbay.util.ThreadedServer$Acceptor.run(ThreadedServer.java: 634)

Which clearly is not related to the other open socket.

So I'm back to my original problem: why is the client stuck in the native state while the server has no record of it? And why does it only happen for that one request in those exact steps that I execute. I should also add that I have done a netstat call at the time, and got back:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] webapps]$ netstat -a --numeric-port | grep 8081 tcp 1 0 ::ffff:192.168.167.1:58125 ::ffff: 192.168.167.129:8081 CLOSE_WAIT

Any other ideas? I'm really at a loss here :(

(2) org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase writeRequest
100 (continue) read timeout. Resume sending the request

This message is logged when the target server fails to properly respond to the "Expect: 100-continue" handshake. When the handshake is activated
HttpClient sends the request header containing the "Expect:
100-continue" directive prior to sending the request body and expects
the target server to respond with status code 100 indicating that it is okay to proceed with sending the request content. Apparently the server has issues with the "Expect: 100-continue" handshake or simply locks up
while processing the request header.


I turned off this feature and the INFO log goes away, but the lock up still occurs. So I don't think this is related.

Hope this helps.

Oleg

Like I reported in my initial email, subsequent requests in other
threads (coming from test.jsp) work fine.

I've tried using XFire 1.1.1 and 1.2-RC, combined with HttpClient 3.0 and 3.1-alpha1. I get the same result, outlined below, which causes a
complete lockup of a thread. I can't figure out what would cause
this.

When making a call via XFire (ClientService.getAppLog()), the current
thread locks up just after printing the following out in the logs:

org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase writeRequest
100 (continue) read timeout. Resume sending the request

I see that this log comes from an InterruptedIOException here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/xref/org/apache/ commons/
httpclient/HttpMethodBase.html#2004

The stack dump of the locked thread is:

"Thread-62" daemon prio=1 tid=0x082602c0 nid=0x51ca runnable
[0x79926000..0x79926e30]

Patrick,
As you can see the thread gets blocked in the native socket read
method,
so this is very unlikely to be a threading dead-lock in the HttpClient
code. Most likely the socket read operation blocks indefinitely
because
socket timeout is not set (SO_TIMEOUT value is set to zero).

Hope this helps

Oleg

What's very weird is that I am able to drop a JSP (test.jsp) that
makes the exact same call and it completes just fine. This tells me
that there is something environmental about _this_ thread that causes
HttpClient to do this. The call alone is not the issue.

Also, I might add that the XFire call never makes it to the other end
(ClientServiceImpl), as I have a print line there that never gets
invoked. I ran a stack dump on the other side as well, and nothing
stood out (though it is possible part of the request made it through
to XFire's Servlet, and then broke and was no longer in the active
thread dump by the time I forced the dump).

Finally, this request is running over HTTP. I'd really like to figure
out:

1) What that log from HttpMethodBase.writeRequest() is all about
2) Why there would be a perpetual "pause" in the native method, but
no actual visible deadlock.
3) How to fix this :)
